Explanatory Note
On May 5, 2011, Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the voting results from the Company’s 2011 annual shareholders’ meeting held on May 4, 2011. This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to report the action taken by the Company with regard to the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation. No other changes are being made to the original Form 8-K.
Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
(d) As previously reported, at the annual shareholders’ meeting on May 4, 2011 the Company conducted a non-binding advisory vote on the issue of the frequency with which shareholders express an opinion on executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay”). A majority of the shares present and entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the Company’s 2011 annual shareholders’ meeting were cast in favor of holding an annual Say-on-Pay vote. After considering the shareholders’ advisory vote results, the Company has determined that it will include an annual Say-on-Pay vote in its proxy materials until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of holding a Say-on-Pay vote, which will occur no later than the Company’s 2017 annual shareholders’ meeting.
